76 Early Rifle Elk

[Spikeslayer44]

Well the stars aligned and I pulled a hybrid tag for 76 Early rifle. Anyone else get lucky or going to be hunting up there? I have decent knowledge on the unit but would be down to trade.

A few good bulls. Scout end of September and Kill early.

Wow congrats, that is my dream tag. I personally would take that tag over the NW corner units, not for trophy potential but just the overall quality of the hunt.

I drew the 1st rifle season tag. Would love to hear how your hunt goes. I'll be out there scouting the last week of Sept, would be happy to share what I learn during scouting.

Man, I’m not sure where the NW corner is lacking on over all “quality” of the hunt. 76 has the scenery but 76 isn’t even in the same class as 2,10, or 201 when it comes to overall experience of hunting 300 plus inch bulls in the rut.

^^^ I agree. A close friend of mine hunted both in his lifetime. He said that nothing compared to the NW corner that he had ever seen in 50 years of elk hunting. He killed a small bull in 76 on his 17th day of hunting with his bow.

76 was an absolute blast 10 to 15 years ago. The last two hunts as of recently I’ve helped in there have been rather disappointing as far as quality of bulls around

I was underwhelmed as well
